Good evening. for the news where you are. | :00:08. | :00:08. | |
The UK's leading woodland conservation charity has given | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
its backing to campaigners trying to prevent tree-felling | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
The Woodland Trust has named a 120-year-old Elm in Nether Edge | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
The council's review of 36,000 trees in the city has | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
provoked an angry response, and even led to arrests. | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
Trees are springing up all over Sheffield this month. | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
In a few weeks, they'll be back in the loft. | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
But it's the fate of those on the streets | :00:36. | :00:36. | |
that has people worried, in particular | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
that of this Huntingdon Elm on Chelsea Road. | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
It's just been named as one of the Woodland Trust's | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
trees of the year, but the council wants to cut it down. | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
Campaigner Paul Selby nominated it for the award. | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
The council 12 months ago just thought | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
this was any old piece of wood for felling. | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
Well, actually, it's one of the most important trees | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
It's fought off Dutch elm disease at least twice | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
that we know of and you cannot replace this tree. | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
It's part of the International biological diversity | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
that hopefully will help replant and repopulate the whole country | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
In July, campaigners hired an open-top bus to | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
Now the Woodland Trust is giving them ?500 | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
to be spent on the tree as a reward for its nomination. | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
They'll get that in March, although, of course, | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
Sheffield City Council has felled more than 3300 trees since 2012. | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
The local authority had to apologise last month after | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
council contractors started felling eight trees | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
They woke residents and some of them were | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
The council says many of the city's trees are old or diseased, dangerous | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
or damaging the pavement and need to be cut down. | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
Their plan is to replace every one they lose with a new, | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
younger tree, but campaigners say this tree behind me and the rest | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
across the city are special and need to be saved. | :02:01. | :02:08. | |
Police say they're concerned for the welfare of a teenager | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
from Wetherby who has been missing since Friday night. | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
15-year-old Kate Hunter was out with a friend in Leeds. | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
She was wearing black jeans, a black jumper | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
Anyone with any information is asked to contact | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
Members of the Leeds Muslim Youth Group were handing out roses | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
to shoppers in the city today as a symbol of peace and unity. | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
The group were part of a nationwide campaign | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
of Shia and Sunni communities working together to deliver | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
They were planning to distribute 12,000 this weekend. | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
Organisers hope it'll help unite people across all religions | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
despite the conflict happening elsewhere in the world. | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
So, this time of year which is the festive period, | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
is all about peace and unity, so historically speaking, | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
Muslims, Christians and Jews have all stood together | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
at this time of year in celebration of peace | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
and therefore we really just wanted to say to people that | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
despite what you may hear or you may see around the world, | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
Muslims are committed to peace, tranquillity and unity. | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
Well, Andy Murray may have won the coveted | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
Sports Personality of the Year Award, but it was | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
Yorkshire's Alistair Brownlee who came second. | :03:15. | :03:23. | |
The Leeds-born triathlete hit the headlines earlier this year - | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
not only for winning gold in the Rio Olympics | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
but also for his great sportsmanship | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
when he helped his brother Johnny over the finish line | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
These images were seen around the world at the time. | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
So tonight he was recognised for his achievements in the sport | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
as he proudly received the award from the Duke of Cambridge. | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
It's not looking like a white Christmas but we can see | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
what the weather's doing this week, with Lucy Martin. | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
Plenty of cloud around but we did see some brightness | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
and you can see that quite nicely here in this photo | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
sent in by a weather watcher in Leeds. | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
The sun just peeking out behind those clouds. | :04:10. | :04:10. | |
As we move through tonight then, we are staying cloudy. | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
I think we'll see a few patches of fog developing, so do just take | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
extra care if you're out on the roads. | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
Temperatures falling to an overnight low of between | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
So we start of the day tomorrow with plenty of cloud around. | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
Just that fog to look out for as you move through the morning, | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
but then I think we'll see a few brighter intervals in the mix before | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
a bit of patchy light rain creeps in into the late evening. | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
Temperatures reaching a maximum of nine Celsius | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
And it is a similar story as we move into Tuesday, | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
although I think we'll see a little bit more | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
Still the risk of a bit of drizzle fell by things | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
turning unsettled by the time we get to midweek. | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
Thank you to all unite else for staying up to watch us. That's from | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
the late team. Back at breakfast. Goodbye. | :04:59. | :05:08. | |
Good evening. It's a big week for pre-Christmas travel plans and the | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
weather can be quite challenging at times, too. We start the week with | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
the issue of fog once again. Just about anywhere on the hills on | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
Monday morning but at its most extensive at lower levels across | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
parts of western England and | :05:26. | :05:26. |
